Improve search functionality in the Add Person to Roster field
Improve the search capabilities of the lookup field when you are using the "Add Person to Roster" field. Let’s say I’m looking at an activity and I want to add a person to the roster. I click the Roster option near the top of the window then click the button to add a person. A data entry form then appears. When I click in the name window the options for what I can type are extremely limited. If I type the name of a person the way they themselves have told me it is spelled, very often there is no…

Roster Management - Canceling after registration closes GH1782
Currently if registration for an activity is closed and the leader cancels someone from the roster, the next person from the waitlist is automatically added to the roster. To avoid this the total capacity of the trip has to be reduced before canceling someone. This is annoying as a leader and confusing for the participants if done wrong. Once registration is closed, the roster should be fixed unless manually edited.
0 votesRoster management is now manual after registration has closed. We will be sending out a notification in leader lines but please pass along to your fellow leaders.

Roster visibility change on the web site
Some of us are wondering about a recent change on the web site. Activity rosters are no longer visible unless we're registered for that activity. Instead of displaying the roster, the web site now displays this text: " You must be registered for this activity to see the participants".
This obviously enhances privacy for those members who wish it, but it also reduces visibility for those members who use the visibility to hang out together on Mountaineers activities.
As you know, members already have the ability to mark their own profiles as private.
I'm wondering if this privacy setting could…

The rosters should be open to participants to see who is going on a trip--not only to carpool but just to know who is going. Why not?
Currently the only ones who can see the rosters are leaders. Many times as a leader I've heard participants announce "I wish I had known you were going so we could have carpooled." Or many times after a trip people want to get together to socialize. We should protect personal information, but a list of names should not violate anyone's rights, should it?

Leaders of a committee should be able to access old course rosters
From Dennis Miller via info@mountaineers.org
It appears that courses expire which means they don't show up under the course template unless you are course admin.
1 voteCommittee admins can see all courses. If a person needs to work with historical courses, they should be a committee admin.

Make Sort Stick on Roster SD581
Make it so when you switch sort order to alpha or by role (like instructor or admin on a committee) it stays while you are editing.
It would also be good to have this on the calendar function as well to remember what date you were on.

Track Leaders, Instructors and Members better on Committee Rosters including Automatically Assigning Leader Badges SD134/SD580
Right now you are added as a leader to a committee and Member Services gets an email notification that requires them to add the badge. Leader web rights however are instantly granted with the addition to the roster.
Expiration dates for each, automatic leader/instructor badge assignment/removal, roster removal if none remain. Add committee member checkbox. Bulk update tools for managing roles/expiration dates. Determine what an instructor really is.
8 votesWe added fields for tracking committee member, leader and instructor expiration dates, and automatically assign or remove the leader badge specified on the committee.
Additional details were sent to committee chairs on Nov 20. See the tech blog post, https://www.mountaineers.org/blog/2-9-many-small-improvements, for more info.

Download Roster: Have option to download only those selected GH1132
Right now the download roster brings everyone on the list, it would be cool to be able to select a portion of the roster and download this portion for management for all rosters (committee, course and activity). - Suggestion from Focus Groups

Activity Rosters should divide instructors and participants GH 1124
Please divide rosters for participants and instructors for activities and course related activities in the same way that courses are set up. The sort by feature is less helpful than seeing the clear division.

Roster field showing members Branch
Many trips and outings are joined by members from all Branches. Once a trip is created, and the time comes for communicating final information, a field showing the participant's Branch world be most helpful to assist with arranging carpooling.
1 voteWhen we were chatting with many of our leaders and members during the creation of the current carpool system there was a strong consensus that people have the flexibility to share more detailed information about where they are coming from rather than grouping by Branch. We also were not able to share city with the group because of member privacy.
What we came up with instead is the carpool preference field which has 2 parts. One that allows you to pick Drive, Ride, Drive or Ride, Drive- Full Car, Drive- Have Space.
And then part two where you can say. I’m coming from Ravenna and prefer to meet at 65th St Park and Ride.
Anyone signed up for the same trip can then see this detailed information when they go to the roster and click Email Roster.
Leaders are able to see which city people are coming from and occasionally…

Printer-friendly Roster Page with Contact Info for Leaders SD319
In preparing for an activity, leaders often want to bring a long a printout of their activity roster, including participant names, mobile phone, email, and emergency contact info. Currently we have to export this info to excel and spend time removing unnecessary columns and rows and doing a lot of formatting to produce this. Offer a printer-friendly page that formats this info (and leaves out the unnecessary info like cancelled registrations, etc.).

MailTo button on Rosters and other web email improvements GH1123
The email button on the roster page is pretty much useless because of the crippled form based email that is built in. Add another button with a MailTo link behind it that feeds the default email client with the list of selected email address in the header.
That's basically the same functionality we had under IMIS--it was robust, immensely useful, and the necessary programming is trivial.
24 votesWe added a MailTo box that allows copy-and-paste of email addresses to a personal email client and up to threes attachment for web-sent email.

Access to Badge Rosters
Provide access to badge rosters with means for admins to maintain them and correct inaccuracies. I know of no defensible reason to hide this information, especially from committees that need it to do their jobs.

Add status column to course roster
The course roster can be improved with a new column to show status of the students and instructosr. Students start out as registered then progress to graduated, cancelled, failed, extended, etc. Instructors may also cancel, no show. Using the role column to carry that fact is not the best because then when the status changes we lose track of the actual role. For example, if the status changes to cancelled, we no longer know if the registration was for a student or an instructor.
By extension, this idea means that "graduated" is a status of the student role, not a…
3 votesWe have no additional feedback that this is a desired change by other course leaders, and it seems that having one column with “Student” and one with “Graduated” would be too confusing.
